Kitties, Jammies, and Happy New Years Eve…

It doesn't matter what world I’m in, I love kittens and cats! I don’t much like when they are sleeping though… boring! Well, ok they are kinda cute still… but boring! This morning I was up nice and early… earlier than all our kitties. Between my Mommy, sister and me we have a few… mhm, just a few… really just a few! Anyways, I was trying to wake them up but someone must have kept them up late last night cuz they weren't listening to me.



Angel that I am, I got up on their climbing post and modeled my new jammies for you all. I’m mines Mommy’s angel so she got me these adorable jammies for Christmas.



While I was up there I was yelling at the top of my lungs to you all… did you hear me? If not, I will say it again…

*clears her throat and yells*

Best wishes to everyone for a very happy and healthy New Year <3

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year...

With this being Christmas Eve, I feel the need to veer away from our typical blogs. Second Life is a melting pot for people from all over the world. We are from different cultures and represent many races and religions. I hope that I am accepting of all who cross my path; both in SL and RL. I hope as I blog today, those of you who have different beliefs than me will open your hearts and be accepting of me.


I believe in the reason behind Christmas… the birth of Jesus Christ. I wasn’t born into Christianity but have found myself here. I’ll spare you that long story.

Today my amazing Second Life parents call me their angel. This is not the first time I’ve been given that very special title. I believe in angels. I believe they are messengers sent from God. Today if I may be an angel and bring you blessings of peace, love, happiness and good health, that would make my Christmas the best one ever.

Happy Holidays to you and yours!

Family Comes in Many Packages

In less than a week, many of us will be celebrating Christmas in our own ways. Last night, though, my SL family had an early Christmas gift… one that got me to thinking about family in SL.

So, what was our gift? Well, yesterday, we had a new addition to the Evans family, but he’s not in the form as some of you may be thinking. Our newest addition is Buck, our family’s loving Clydesdale steed. 

It's not everyday that you see a horse on a sled. This is Buck, in his regular horse form.
You didn't think we just sat around did you?

Yep! He’s a horse avatar and I love it! Buck is kind, gentle, funny, adventurous, and has a heart filled with so much love that he wants to share with those around him. He fits in so perfectly with all of us, and truly belongs.

As you can see in the above picture, though, Buck isn’t our only four-legged family member. Ivy is our family’s beloved Alicorn, although sometimes she will arrive in human form, dog form, or even in the form of a... dragon!!! Always loving and with a beautiful heart, Ivy is a joy to know and love. I’m so happy she’s in our family, and always look forward to spending time with her.

We also have Ron, who is Ivy’s guardian wolf and dear friend. He is hilarious and always makes me laugh. A smile is usually on my face when I’m around Ron, as he has a gift for lighting up a room with his loving and sweet personality.

Our family is even larger than this, but I would keep you here forever if I kept going. I think we are a bit unique in some ways. However, I also know that we’re not the only ones with animals who are a part of their families. In RL too, most pets are more than just that… they are family too. So, here in SL, it isn’t much different. 

Family shouldn't have any set rules as to whether individuals belong or not. Family is more than that. It is love and connection through the heart, and if someone is blessed enough to find that, then they should never let differences get in the way. Some of us are adults in SL. Some of us are kids. And, some of us choose to be four-legged individuals. In the end, though, we are all human beings living in this virtual world together. We bring ourselves into this world every single time we log in, and we impact one another in ways that might be even more powerful than in real life at times. So, when we can find people whom we care about in this virtual world, why not embrace the time we can have with each other and use it for good? We all have a gift all year round within Second Life... the gift of togetherness. Sometimes it can be difficult and painful, but so many times it can bring happiness. And, of course it can sometimes be salvation when our real lives are crumbling in some way. Family in SL doesn't degrade our real life. In some ways, I think it can even save it. 

I think the best way to close this post this week is with Buck’s words after he was officially welcomed into our family.

Of course, I've felt like family every time I've come over. :)

Buck and Ivy (in her dog form)

Merry Christmas, to all of you who celebrate it!

Do You Love Gatchas????


The Woodland Treasures Gatcha is a monthly themed gatcha event that is lots of fun. Another family friendly event with lots of stuff for kids! 

I’m not much of a shopper… it’s true. I keep telling people I’m different. But, I couldn't resist shopping at this month’s Woodland Treasures. That in itself is proof that there is stuff you just have to have. 

*Shameless plug here*
I made these really cute snowglobes with particles that go on and off when you touch them. 


*end of shameless plug*

So, today I got up and after a few good stretches…


I put on my new ice skates and went out to our own lil frozen pond and tried them out. It was lots of fun.

Texting Santa My List (Regular Kids Fashion)

We are getting closer to christmas, and i still need to tell Santa what i want.
The whole letter thing is neat, but texting is faster and im sure some of the elfs are high-techs and got cellphones, right?
So me and my friends, Pierre, Shadow and Nibbler made the list and took a selfie to add to it, so Santa doesn't give it to the wrong peeps, you know ... making sure.
Anyway, if someone else get my text you can still send me my gifts. K, Thanks =D.

Zombies on Ice



Ah, the wonderful season of the holidays. Fresh white snow covering the ground, the sight of wonderment everywhere you look, and the distinct and comforting sound of…


Photo by Gemma Morland


… a zombie slaughter taking place on a frozen lake.

Just the average day in December, when you’re dealing with little kids who are packing heat, and parents who beam with pride at their skills.

Last night, it all started off so “innocent” as my friend, Lillie (and fellow blogger), stated in a plurk post. Yet, somehow and in some way, our evening of snow ball fights, ice skating and drinking hot chocolate, turned into an evening of trying to kill each other first, then combining forces against the invaders from the dead.

If only I could remember how it began… oh wait… that’s right!

“Gemma: Summer has equipped me with The Power... Bewaaare.”

Yes, now I remember clearly. Those are the exact words my friend, Gemma (and fellow blogger), said before the battle began and all chaos let loose. None of us could have expected what was to come next, though. 



We were soon attacked by multitudes of zombies who chased us, until one-by-one we used our "power" and they dropped into what can only be described as a pile of broken lego men. No really, they fell down and into pieces with like arms here and like legs and stuff over there. It was totally gross, but quite satisfying in our victory too. 

It was a dire situation for a while. The walkers… err… zombies, threatened to take over the world and ruin this beautiful season. But, we couldn’t have any of that. So, five kids and three adults took on the almost insurmountable task of destroying the dead as they returned to earth with a hunger for avatar mesh!

However, you need not fear. "We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive!" And, we will do so because Lillie, Gemma, Adalia, Elia, Nina, Syrah, John and yours truly saved the day today, and will again when needed.

Let it Snow, Let it snow!


Hi everyone!   This is going to be a quick post today, but I've been wanting to blog this stuff for awhile now.  I went down to Heritage Snow Days Festival and picked up some adorable things that I know you all will adore!  First is this cute shimmery silver outfit from Baby Pie.  It is so pretty and has a big snowflake on the front of this comfy looking sweater.  I also picked up this nail polish hud from Petite Bowtique for Fifty Linden Friday today.  It has a silverish base color with different color snowflakes to pick from!   Also, at Heritage Snow Days, is this adorable chalkboard pose prop from .click.  I absolutely love this!  The creator of .click., Gracie Breuer, has opened a new store called .trinket. which so far has a gatcha featuring dainty animal silhouette rings.  There are a variety of animals and each are in three metal tones, silver, rose gold, and mixed metals.  I'm wearing the deer ring rare in silver and the cat ring in rose gold!  Be sure to check out Heritage Snow Days because there are so many stores selling adorable items!  As you can see most of the items I'm wearing for today's blog feature snowflakes.  I love snowflakes so much.  I find them very special because they represent so much to me.  They are each completely different and delicate.  It reminds me that even though life may be difficult and complicated sometimes, we should never give up because there is pure beauty still left in the world.  Each tiny snowflake is a representation of that.
